Study shows Labour faces continuous decline unless it tackles perception it is London-centric
Labour faces a continuous decline in its traditional heartlands unless it challenges “an enduring perception of us as ineffective, complacent or indifferent”, a stark report by a group of the party’s MPs has warned.
The study by the group Labour for the North concludes that some of the “red wall” seats lost to the Conservatives in 2019 “may be lost for good” unless it tackles a deep-rooted “northern problem”, including “the perception that we are a London-centric party”.
